> why I'm a slow reader

I can glance over text quite quickly to understand what it's saying, but can only "read" it is as fast as the voice can talk.

Typing prose is the same, even if I type text without looking at the screen the voice still speaks to me and I can only type as fast as it speaks.

That's interesting. Can you type while talking to someone else? (I mean actually engage in conversation, not just pretend to listen).

I've typed full emails while talking to others, I can't imagine doing that while sub-vocalizing what I'm writing.
